Reattaching screen (having irssi running) forces window resize

Question

Whenever I reattach to my detached screen (containing Irssi), my Putty screen is resized to something it has been at startup. If I change the window size after this, detach the screen and resize it back, window will be again resized to the original size. By window I mean the Putty window on my windows box. How can I turn this feature off?

Using Windows XP as my local and CentOS 6.0 as the remote OS. Putty 0.61.

Found the answer. The feature is called "remote terminal resizing", and it can be disabled at Configuration -> Terminal -> Features -> Disable remote-controlled terminal resizing, as described in PuTTY configuration.

Don't really know why reattaching screen does window resize remote request, though.
